About this procedure
The eyes are the first feature people notice — and the first to show signs of ageing. Blepharoplasty removes excess skin, fat and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids, restoring a more alert, youthful and rested appearance. Dr. Sinnet Roy performs this procedure with meticulous precision, preserving the natural character of the eyes.
Upper blepharoplasty addresses drooping or hooded upper eyelids caused by excess skin — which can not only affect appearance but, in severe cases, impair the field of vision.
Lower blepharoplasty corrects puffiness, bags and wrinkled skin beneath the eyes, eliminating the tired or aged look that no amount of sleep seems to fix.
Both procedures can be performed independently or together, and are often combined with other facial rejuvenation treatments for a comprehensive result.

The procedure
The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, or general anaesthesia. It takes 1–2 hours. Incisions for upper lids are hidden in the natural eyelid crease; lower lid incisions are placed just below the lash line or inside the lid.
After surgery
Swelling and bruising resolve over 1–2 weeks. Most patients feel comfortable being seen in public within 10–14 days. Scars fade and become virtually invisible within a few months. Results are long-lasting — often a decade or more.
Common questions
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia — you feel nothing during surgery. Mild soreness and tightness are common for a few days after.
Upper eyelid incisions are placed in the natural crease of the lid and are virtually invisible once healed. Lower lid incisions are placed just below the lash line or inside the lid — both locations scar very well.
Upper blepharoplasty results typically last 10–15 years. Lower eyelid results are similarly long-lasting. The eyes continue to age naturally over time.
